The Plymouth Fire Department (in Minnesota) has invited families to adopt a fire hydrant this winter. Families who keep the hydrants clear of snow and ice, qualify for free dinners at local restaurants. Families that don’t live near a hydrant might consider shoveling the walk and driveway of an elderly family. Other ways your family can volunteer together include:
- Go grocery shopping as a family, purchase groceries and deliver them to your local food shelf
- Arrange to make and deliver dinner for an elderly neighbor or sick friend.
- Help someone who “can’t” by raking their lawn, decorating for the holidays, doing their errands, etc.
- Walk the neighbors dog
- Offer to baby-sit for a young family that needs a night out
- Organize a community “closet cleaning” day/week and donate to a homeless shelter or other organization
- Partner with other families to clean up the neighborhood or park
- Bake cookies for Interfaith Outreach holiday party
